[OpenIndiana-discuss] BCM 4313 Wifi

[Jonathan Adams]

IIRC the NDIS wrapper worked with _some_ broadcom drivers (generally
not the latest versions at all)

you could try finding a specific older driver for the 4313 (look
around the Linux NDIS system, some people used to post "compatible"
drivers)

also I found that some NDIS drivers only worked on 32bit ... you could
try seeing if you can work your computer in 32bit only ...

otherwise it might be worth a punt at looking at the *BSD driver, if
you have time and patience.

If you lived in the UK; I have a whole bunch of Intel wifi's from dead
Dell laptops sitting in the draw behind me ... :)
